Drywall & Plasterboard Services Sydney

Dry lining is the process of fixing plasterboards directly to walls, creating a smooth, even surface without the need for traditional wet plastering. It’s a fast, efficient way to transform uneven or damaged walls into a perfect base for painting or wallpapering.

In Sydney, dry lining is especially popular for renovation projects where time is of the essence. Whether it’s a Federation terrace in Glebe or a modern townhouse in Ryde, dry lining gives a clean, professional result in less time than traditional plaster. It’s also great for insulating older homes, as boards can be fitted over insulation layers for improved energy efficiency.

At Art of Plaster, we use only top-quality plasterboards and precise installation techniques. We measure and cut boards to fit perfectly, secure them with the right fixings, and ensure all joints are seamless. This means no visible joins or bumps once the surface is finished.

The result? A flawless wall that’s ready for decoration almost immediately. Plus, because dry lining is a “dry” process, you don’t have to wait days for plaster to dry before moving on to the next stage of your project.

Plasterboard is the standard choice for walls and ceilings in Sydney homes and businesses because it’s reliable, cost-effective, and leaves a clean surface ready for painting or finishing. From older terraces in Balmain that need new ceilings to modern apartments in Zetland where partitions are being added, plasterboard is the backbone of most interiors we work on.

The real difference comes down to installation. If sheets aren’t cut to size properly or joins aren’t finished smoothly, the flaws will show through once painted. That’s why clients across Sydney keep calling us back—they know the result will be even, sharp, and long-lasting. One customer who used our team for their Drummoyne renovation said John completed all plastering to a very high standard, and they wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for remedial plaster work. Feedback like that shows the value of getting plasterboard fitted by someone who takes the time to do it right.

Plasterboard is also adaptable to Sydney’s different needs: moisture-resistant sheets for bathrooms and kitchens, fire-rated boards for compliance in apartments, and acoustic boards for homes near busy roads. Having worked on properties across the city—from the Eastern Suburbs to the Hills District—I’ve seen how important it is to match the right product to the environment.

With Art of Plaster, plasterboard installation isn’t just about putting up a wall. It’s about delivering a surface that feels solid, looks seamless, and supports the character of your home or business.

When people call me about drywall repairs, it’s usually because a small problem has turned into something that keeps catching their eye—cracks that spread across a ceiling, dents from moving furniture, or water damage that leaves the plasterboard soft and stained. I’ve been fixing these issues in Sydney homes for years, and I always say the same thing: it’s not just about patching a hole, it’s about making the repair invisible so the wall looks like it was never damaged in the first place.

In one project I worked on, a family in Drummoyne had multiple problem areas from renovations. After the repairs were finished, they told me the plastering was completed to a very high standard and that they’d happily recommend me for any remedial work. That kind of feedback matters, because drywall repair is all about detail—making sure the joins don’t flash under paint and the texture blends perfectly with the surrounding surface.

Every suburb in Sydney brings its own challenges. Older Federation homes in Paddington often show movement cracks that need stabilising, while apartments in the CBD might need fast, clean repairs after water leaks. The key is knowing how to treat each type of damage properly—sometimes it’s a simple patch, other times the section needs replacing altogether.

Drywall repair might sound like a small job, but when it’s done right, it restores more than the wall—it restores the look and feel of the whole room. At Art of Plaster, that’s always the aim: repairs that disappear into the background and leave your Sydney home or business looking complete again.

Whenever we’re called out to jobs across Sydney, from new apartment builds in Zetland to heritage renovations in Balmain, one of the first things people ask about is the quality of the drywall sheets. It makes sense—these sheets are the foundation of every wall and ceiling. If they’re not the right type, or not fitted correctly, problems like moisture damage, cracking, or uneven joins will show up later.

We supply and install a range of plasterboard and drywall sheets to suit different needs. In bathrooms and kitchens, moisture-resistant boards keep damp at bay. In high-rise apartments, fire-rated sheets are often required by code. And for homes near busy streets or flight paths, acoustic boards make a big difference in soundproofing. By choosing the right sheet for the job, you end up with walls and ceilings that hold up long term and make the whole property feel solid.

I remember working with a client on a large kitchen refit in Sydney’s Inner West. After the job was complete, they told me how professional and knowledgeable the work had been, and how pleased they were with the result in their kitchen. That feedback confirmed for me that the right drywall sheets, installed properly, are just as important as the finish coat of plaster itself.

At Art of Plaster, we don’t cut corners. Every sheet is measured, cut, and joined with precision, leaving a surface that’s ready for painting and guaranteed to look seamless once the job is finished. For Sydney homeowners and builders, drywall sheets aren’t just a material—they’re the base that holds the whole room together, and we make sure they’re done right.
